I got to rub elbows with some serious new media newmunati last Thursday for the Felix TV shoot at the Gawker party. It’s been funny seeing myself pop up in the background of all these shots, hard at work while everyone else is partying. And here’s the video that I was shooting:

As I mentioned earlier, I had a bunch of gear stolen on my last night in NYC. I think one of the things that helped me cope with the loss was knowing that when I returned to Michigan, I would have a brand new camera waiting for me. That’s right, I bit the bullet, cut […]

I jetted home last week for a quick visit. While there, I hung out in the menagerie. This is Bond. Evita. They live here. I live(d?) there. I got some hot dogs with Jeremy. Dan came. Dan’s a vinyl man. Stylin’ in the 49546. Dad’s new board quickly dwarfed the excitement of my graduation. Now […]

Today, I did this: Several J-school friends and I went to a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Strictly no cameras in the studio so an awning shot will have to suffice. The man is really good at his job. He did the whole show in one take. It must have been an […]

Every Tuesday around noon, I return home to grab a meal and retreat into my thoughts before returning to class. It also happens that at noon the children of PS 135 descend on the playground outside my window. I never get the retreat I’m hoping for. From my perch at my kitchen table, my window […]

My buddy Fred Dreier reached out to me after hooking up with Competitor Magazine offering for us to film the ING New York City Marathon for them. It was a long day, but it was really incredible seeing 40,000 runners and what felt like all of New York cheering them on. I handled the filming, […]
